A Professional and Personal Service

Your eyes are very important to you and they are to us as well. We offer a complete eye care service to all ages, including young children. We pride ourselves on providing you with a high quality, professional service whilst assuring you of the personal and caring attention you expect of an independent optician.

We Provide a Full Range of NHS and Private Services

We provide a full range of both NHS and private services including eye examinations, as well as provision and fitting of eye wear .

We also offer more specialist services such as the provision of low vision aids. The Learning Disability Pathway is available at Robin Hall Opticians. Please ask about this when you book your appointment.

Get Your Eyes Tested

The core of our service is the eye examination. This is not just to see if you need vision aids, but to see if there are other problems. It can provide early detection of a number of medical conditions which are treated more effectively at this stage.

About Your Eye Examination

Everyone should have regular eye examinations. Adults should have one every two years or more frequently, if the optometrist recommends. Children should have an examination at least every two years, as they are growing fast and their eyes change quickly.

The NHS provides free eye examinations at designated intervals for:

Children under 16

Those in full-time education under 19

All aged 60 or over

Diabetics

Those with glaucoma or over the age of 40 with family history of glaucoma

Various benefits will also give access to NHS eye examination. Please ask for further information.

Our appointments are made a minimum of 40 minutes apart, so there is plenty of time to provide you with the expert advice you need.

Spectacles, Lenses and More

If you do need spectacles or contact lenses, we will lead you through the process of selecting the best for you.

We carry a wide choice of spectacles, from free styles for NHS patients to designer frames so that you can choose the ones to suit your personality and budget. We also provide a wide choice of lenses for spectacles – light-sensitive, thinner, special coatings, for example.

If you prefer contact lenses, we can provide the full range of types available from daily disposables to gas permeable.

Hearing tests

Sam Owen comes in every Wednesday and provides a hearing service. Hummingbird Hearing is an established company and Sam will do a free ear health check to decide whether more in-depth investigation of your hearing is needed. Please contact us if you would like an appointment.
